Overview of Hotel 21 Karimun
Hotel 21 Karimun is a 3-star hotel with 90 rooms spread across five floors, a compact, mid-sized scale that sits between a small guesthouse and a large resort. Traveloka's listing places it in Tanjung Balai Karimun City Center, at 21 Coastal Area RT. 01 RW. 01 TBK, Tanjung Balai Karimun, Kepulauan Riau 26991, Indonesia. That address puts the property in the main town of Karimun in the Riau Islands, the island province that lies just south of Singapore.
The hotel is a standard city hotel rather than a resort, and its listed facilities reflect that: an outdoor pool, two restaurants, room service, meeting facilities, a lift, on-site parking and a reception desk that is staffed around the clock. For travellers coming from Singapore, it is a practical base for a short stay in Tanjung Balai Karimun, whether the trip is a quick weekend across the water, a family visit, or a working stay that needs a meeting space close to the town centre.
The property's own description on Traveloka positions it for a wide mix of guests, from couples and families to solo travellers and those planning longer stays, and highlights its function room for events and special occasions.
Room Types at Hotel 21 Karimun
Hotel 21 Karimun has 90 rooms in total across its five floors, according to the property data on Traveloka. The structured feed for this hotel does not list individual room categories, bed configurations or room sizes, so this guide does not name specific room tiers. Instead, the room options available for your dates, with their bed types, occupancy limits and inclusions, are shown on the Traveloka booking page itself when you search.
What the listing confirms about the rooms
The in-room facilities recorded for Hotel 21 Karimun are a TV and cable TV channels, which makes it easy to unwind after a day out in town. The general facilities list also includes a heater. Beyond these items, the listing does not specify per-room features such as minibars, kettles, safes, bathtubs or balconies, so do not assume any of them are present. Rooms at hotels of this category typically include air conditioning and a private bathroom, but you should confirm the per-room amenity list on the room card before booking.
Choosing the right room for your trip
Because room inventory and naming can change, the most reliable approach is to compare the room cards shown on Traveloka for your exact dates. Look at the bed type (one large bed or two separate beds), the maximum number of guests, whether breakfast is included in the rate, and the cancellation terms. Families and groups should check the occupancy limit on each room card rather than assume extra beds are available.

The street address refers to the Coastal Area of the town, and the listing's map coordinates (approximately 1.003° N, 103.441° E) place it close to the waterfront of Karimun Besar island. Tanjung Balai Karimun is the main town of Karimun Regency in the Riau Islands province of Indonesia.
Arriving from Singapore and the wider region
Most visitors reach Tanjung Balai Karimun by sea, as the town is connected by ferry with other parts of the Riau Islands, including Batam, and with international ports in the region. Routes, operators and timetables change from time to time, so check current ferry schedules and passport requirements before you set off. If you prefer to fly part of the way, you can search for flights on Traveloka into the Riau Islands, with Batam serving as the main air gateway for the province, and continue by ferry.
Getting around town
Because the hotel sits in the town centre, many errands, meals and short sightseeing trips can be planned without a long journey. For local journeys, ask the 24-hour reception for help arranging transport. If you are driving or renting a vehicle on the island, on-site parking is listed as available at no charge.
Dining at and near Hotel 21 Karimun
Hotel 21 Karimun has two restaurants on site, according to the property data, and the hotel's description promises a choice of favourite dishes and special cuisine for guests. Two venues under one roof are handy after a long ferry crossing.
Room service is also listed as available, so you can order to your room if you prefer a quiet evening in. Opening hours, menus and whether breakfast is included are not specified in the listing, so check the inclusions on your chosen room rate and ask the front desk about current restaurant hours on arrival.
Being in the city centre, the hotel also gives you easy access to the town's own eateries, coffee shops and local food stalls if you want to try local dishes beyond the hotel menus. To round out your stay, you can browse things to do and experiences on Traveloka for ideas across the Riau Islands, from day trips to tours on neighbouring islands.

Tips for Booking Hotel 21 Karimun on Traveloka
- Check the room cards carefully. Room categories, bed types and occupancy are shown per rate on the booking page, so compare them for your exact dates rather than relying on general descriptions.
- Look at what the rate includes. Some rates may include breakfast and others may be room-only; the inclusion is shown on each rate.
- Plan around check-in and check-out times. Check-in at Hotel 21 Karimun is from 14:00 and check-out is by 12:00. If your ferry arrives early or leaves late, ask the front desk about luggage arrangements or early check-in, subject to availability.
- Read the cancellation policy. Flexible and non-refundable rates can differ, which matters if your ferry timetable might change.
- Add special requests. Floor preference, bed type or arrival time can be noted with your booking; the hotel will try to accommodate them where possible.
- Confirm Wi-Fi needs. WiFi is listed for public areas; if you need to work from your room, check the room details or contact the property.
- Bring the right travel documents. Crossing from Singapore means an international journey, so check passport validity and current entry requirements for Indonesia before you travel.
When your stay is sorted, you can plan the rest of your trip, from transport to experiences, on the Traveloka homepage.
